Liu Le 'er wanted to cast a spell to block the strange green horse. However, her mind was shaken, and the magic power in her body wasn't working properly. She couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
At this critical moment, she only saw darkness in front of her. It was Liu Shi who suddenly took a step forward. His tall body stood in front of her. Simultaneously, he stretched out his hand like lightning, and grabbed the bucket-thick neck of the strange green horse. His body leaned to the side, and collided with the strange green horse.
"Bang!" A loud sound was heard!
The strange green horse neighed loudly, and its huge body abruptly stopped in place as if it had hit a huge wall. Due to its excessive momentum, even the hard stone slabs on the nearby streets were smashed into pieces by the iron hooves.
The silver carriage, under the effect of inertia, hit the rear of the strange green horse. It flew sideways for several feet, and heavily fell to the ground with a 'bang'.
Although the carriage didn't turn upside down, its shape was greatly changed, and a variety of miscellaneous things fell to the ground.
The driver of the carriage didn't sit steadily, and almost fell from the carriage.
The tall Youth was like a nail, and didn't move an inch.
When the people nearby saw this scene, they were instantly dumbfounded. Someone in a teahouse even let out an exclamation of "divine power".
Liu Le 'er patted her chest. She looked at the tall figure in front of her, and her heart felt slightly warm.
But in the past few years, every time she encountered danger, 'Brother Stone' would subconsciously step forward to help her.
The relationship between the two of them was no longer that of family.
The strange green horse became even more manic when it was blocked by Liu Shi. It neighed, and lowered its head. Its huge head fiercely hit Liu Shi's chest.
"Brother Stone, be careful!" Liu Le 'er was startled.
Liu Shi was expressionless. He increased the strength of his arm that was holding the horse's neck, and pressed it down.
"Plop!" The strange horse's four legs bent, and its huge body was directly pressed down on the ground. The surrounding stone slabs were all shattered.
Its entire body felt like it was being crushed by a mountain, and its bones were about to fall apart. The blood-red light in its eyes faded away, replaced by a look of fear.
Facing Liu Shi, whose strength far exceeded its own, the strange horse finally became obedient. It lay on the ground obediently, not daring to move.
"Such great strength!
The impact force of this horse beast is probably no less than four or five thousand Jin, but this person can actually block it so easily! "
"Amazing!"
"I say, whose family's carriage is this? It actually dares to gallop so casually in the busy city. If it wasn't for this hero stopping it, who knows how many people would have suffered!"
Most of the surrounding people finally reacted and began to discuss among themselves.
Only then did Liu Shi release his arm and stand motionless on the spot.
Although the strange green horse was no longer restrained, it still panted heavily, not daring to stand up from the ground.
"Brother Stone, are you alright?" Liu Le'er hurriedly went forward to check on Liu Shi's body. Seeing that he was fine, she heaved a sigh of relief.
The coachman's face had already turned pale. Seeing that the strange horse had been subdued, his whole body went limp on the shaft of the carriage.
At this moment, the carriage door was pushed open, and two pale-faced young men jumped out.
The one in front was a handsome man in his twenties, dressed in a moon-white scholarly robe.
The other person appeared to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. His face was like a beautiful jade, his eyes were black and white, and his lips were red and teeth white. He wore a snow-white robe, a jade belt around his waist, and a jade crown on his head, which was inlaid with a pearl the size of a pigeon's egg. His elegant demeanor was far superior to that of his scholarly companion.
"You dog slave, how can you drive a carriage? You almost fell and killed this young master!"
The scholarly robed Youth's face was full of fear. He grabbed the horsewhip from the coachman's hand, and began to whip the coachman's face.
The coachman's body was covered in bloody marks, but he didn't dare to dodge. He knelt on the ground and repeatedly kowtowed to beg for mercy.
The scholarly robed Youth saw this, but his expression became even more angry, and he began to whip the coachman even more quickly.
"Shut up, it's the people of Yu Prefecture!"
"This has nothing to do with us. Don't talk anymore."
…
The surrounding discussions came to a screeching halt when they saw the two men's faces. Everyone looked at the two men with submissive gazes. It was obvious that they recognized them.
"Second Brother, forget it.
This matter can't be blamed on him. After all, this Azure Wind Horse is a low-level monster beast. It's wild and difficult to tame. "
An arm suddenly stretched out and grabbed the scholarly robed man's wrist. The horsewhip immediately stopped. It was the younger white-robed youth. His voice was like the gurgling of spring water, and it was exceptionally pleasant to listen to.
The scholarly robed Youth glanced at the white-robed youth, and the corner of his mouth twitched. He then snorted and threw away the horsewhip.
"Thank you, Seventh Young Master!" The coachman repeatedly kowtowed to the white-robed youth.
"Get up. Take this silver and compensate the people and shops that were injured by the carriage.
If you handle this matter well, your punishment will be reduced. "The white-robed youth took out a bag and gave it to the coachman.
"Yes, yes." The coachman repeatedly nodded. He took the silver and walked towards the injured people.
"Thanks to this brother for subduing the Azure Wind Horse. Our injuries are a small matter. If others were injured, even ten thousand deaths wouldn't be enough to atone for it." The white-robed youth turned to look at Liu Shi and smiled as he bowed.
When the scholarly robed Youth saw this, he also looked at Liu Shi. He saw that Liu Shi's appearance was ordinary, his skin was dark, and he wore a simple and crude green robe. The scholarly robe looked somewhat shabby. His expression suddenly became somewhat contemptuous, and he reluctantly cupped his hands.
Liu Shi's gaze was wooden, and he also didn't say a word.
The scholarly robed Youth had never been ignored like this. His expression suddenly became sullen, and he was about to erupt. However, he was stopped by the white-robed youth.
The youth carefully sized up Liu Shi. He noticed that there was something strange in Liu Shi's eyes, and his heart suddenly stirred.
There were more and more people around them. Liu Le 'er couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. She pulled Liu Shi and whispered, "Brother Stone, let's go."
The white-robed youth only noticed Liu Le 'er at this moment. After he saw her delicate porcelain doll-like face, his eyes suddenly lit up. He quickly caught up to them and stopped them.
"You two, please wait."
"What's the matter?" Liu Le 'er stopped and frowned. Her small face was somewhat fierce as she asked.
"My name is Yu Qi. I lost control of my carriage and almost hit you two. I'm deeply sorry," the white-robed youth said with a face full of smiles.
"We're all right. Get out of the way," Liu Le 'er said with a taut face.
"Today's matter is all thanks to this brother's help. If I don't repay him, I won't be able to feel at ease.
This place is not far from Yu Prefecture. Would it be possible for the two of you to come to my residence and let me show my hospitality as a host? "Yu Qi said slowly.
"There's no need. What happened just now was nothing. We siblings still have other matters to attend to," Le 'er shook her head without hesitation. She pulled Liu Shi and was about to walk away from the person in front of them.
"Wait. This so-called important matter … Could it be that you want to seek medical treatment for Your Elder Brother?"
Yu Qi's figure flashed and appeared in front of the two of them. She looked at the tall Youth and suddenly asked with a serious expression.
"You … How did you know about this?" Le 'er was startled. She couldn't help but reveal a shocked expression.
"I was born with a very sensitive nose. You two have the smell of herbs on your bodies. You should have just come from the nearby Nokikusai.
Although this brother's divine strength is astonishing, it seems that his divine intellect is hindered. That's why I guessed so. It seems that I'm right. "
Yu Qi looked at Wild Chrysanthemum, who was not far away, and smiled. Although she was dressed as a man, there was a strange charm to her smile.
Even though Le 'er was a woman who looked even younger, she was stunned. She immediately turned to look at Liu Shi and saw that her "Brother Stone" was still expressionless. She didn't know why, but she felt slightly relieved.
At this time, the white-robed youth had already put away his "breathtaking" smile.
He continued, "Little sister, our Yu Family has some influence in Mingyuan City. We know many famous doctors. If you seek medical treatment, they should be able to help."
"That's right. We came to Mingyuan City to seek medical treatment. However, ordinary doctors can't cure my brother's illness." Liu Le 'er shook her head.
"In that case, it seems that Your Elder Brother's illness isn't ordinary.
However, it doesn't matter. Our Yu Family has an Immortal Honored Guest. His medical skills are far superior to those of ordinary doctors. Why don't we ask him to take a look at Your Elder Brother? "Yu Qi frowned, but after glancing at Liu Shi and Le 'er, she clapped her hands and smiled.
"Immortal Honored Guest …" Liu Le 'er's eyes brightened, but she hesitated.
"Little sister Your Elder Brother, please don't decline. Let me do what I can.
I'm not boasting, but although there are other Immortal Honored Guests in Mingyuan City, in terms of medical skills, if our Yu Prefecture's Immortal Honored Guest claims to be number two, then no one would dare claim to be number one. "Yu Qi's eyes turned slightly before she proudly spoke.
"Alright, the two of us can go with you.
However, if this Immortal Honored Guest isn't able to cure my elder brother, we will have to leave immediately. "Liu Le 'er was finally moved by the white-robed youth's final words and reluctantly agreed.
When Yu Qi saw that Liu Le 'er had agreed, she was delighted and immediately asked, "Of course. That's right, I still haven't asked for your names."
Liu Le 'er hesitated for a moment before reporting her and Liu Shi's names.
"So it's Little Sister Le 'er and Brother Liu Shi." Yu Qi nodded repeatedly.
The Confucian robed Youth had been left to the side for a long time and his expression wasn't too good. At that moment, he couldn't help but interject, "Seventh Brother, these two people are of unknown origin. How can you just casually bring them home and ask an Enlightened Master to treat them?"
"It doesn't matter. I know what I'm doing. Second Brother doesn't need to worry." Yu Qi waved her hand and casually replied.
The Confucian robed Youth seemed to be somewhat afraid of his younger brother, Yu Qi. His lips moved a few times as if he wanted to say something. However, he didn't say anything in the end.
At that moment, a few brightly dressed guards carrying swords and sabers hurriedly rushed over from a distance.
When the nearby onlookers saw this, they abruptly dispersed. It seemed that they were very afraid of these people.
The guards didn't pay attention to the surrounding people. They hastily stepped forward and bowed to Yu Qi and Liu Le 'er.
"Seventh Young Master, Second Young Master, we've come late. Please forgive us."
"We're fine. There's no need to make a fuss.
The few of you, take the carriage back first. Don't make this matter public. "Yu Qi said lightly.
"Yes."
The guards obediently took the strange green horse in a flurry and quickly left.
"The two of you, please follow me."
After dealing with these things, the white-robed youth turned around and smiled at Liu Le 'er and Liu Le' er. Then, he took the lead and walked forward.
Liu Le 'er glanced at Liu Shi again. She held his hand tightly and followed behind Yu Qi.
The Confucian robed Youth watched them go away. His face became more and more gloomy. He stood still for a while, then stomped his feet and snorted coldly. Then, he strode forward.
…
"Haha, interesting!
She's said to have a good aptitude for cultivation. She's the one that the Prime Minister of Toyokuni originally planned to send to the Leng Yan Sect. "
At an inconspicuous corner of the street not far away, two people suddenly turned around. The one in front was a Youth in black. His eyes were narrow and long. He looked at the direction where Yu Qi and the others had gone and said in a gloomy voice. His face was full of indescribable evil spirit.
"Be careful, Junior Brother. It's said that there are also Rogue Cultivators in Yu Prefecture. Moreover, they're not alone. Don't underestimate them."
The other person behind the black-clothed youth was a grey-clothed man who was as thin as a stick. There were several bulging beast-skin pouches hanging from his waist. He was also looking at the back of the Yu Residence's people as he spoke slowly.
"Senior Brother Fan, I know what to do.
But this time, Yu Prefecture is my first trial mission. You're only sent to assist me. If there's no special reason, you don't have to do anything.
I'll take care of everything with my people. "The Youth in black didn't take it seriously.
Seeing this, the man in gray smiled bitterly and said nothing.
He knew his Junior Brother's character very well. Although his cultivation was not high, he had the support of the Elders of the Sect. He had always looked down on the other Junior Brothers of the same level.
